I'm hoping the exynos 4/5 multi platform rebase will land in 3.10 which means we should be able support it from that assuming all the odroid code is mainline.
As for binary blobs. Uboot is open source and we ship builds for a number of platforms already. Same rules apply as per the kernel in that the device support needs to be upstream.
I assume the rest is various device firmware and arm device firmware again has the same rules as x86 in that we need to be able to redistribute it. I would check its not already being shipped in the linux-firmware package.
Ultimately with exynos support slated for 3.10 I would check with odroid community about the status of the other 3 items and it would be conceivable to support it natively at some point in F-19 cycle post release.
